Didn't you get the memo? I changed the battery already in one of the updates. Did you get it? The update not the memo. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
No I guess I didnt. Also it came with nova 1.2.1 and I was on 1.2.2 I tried to update it and it failed then I uninstalled it tried 1.2.2 again and it kept failing any wise words?

Just rooted my Epic 4G Touch for the first time since i got it in November because official ICS update f'ed everything up! Installed this rom and all I gotta say is WOW! Fantastic job! Donated $5 immediately! The only problem I had was when notification for voice mail update came up and when I downloaded voice mail update it said it was corrupt...Anyway, found official sprint voicemail apk here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1780975 installed no problems, did a second update and now my voicemail is up to date! Anybody else had voicemail corruption issues? Does anybody know when a new release of this rom is coming? Great job rom team!!!:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] syed239:
That's great and all but dude you don't ask for ETAs. Nice to see you finally rooted though!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Were both installed at the same time?

How did you install the beta btw, was it fresh install or did you save data?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiswa:
I didn't even realize there was an update until your post. And yes, it gave me a 'download corrupt' error too. I used the one you linked, then updated it to latest and all is well with voicemail. This update really improves the UI.

Also, your link is to another post talking about the apk and linking here. Just thought I'd post the direct route too. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
It was installed before I flashed the beta ( nova 1.2.2 ) the beta had 1.2.1 tried to update after. I didn't do a full wipe figure I would give it a try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ok, it was the beta, just curious. I'll look into it. Thnx.

Fyi I flashed the new Agat 4.0 kernel and my battery life is great it had been pretty crappie the past month but this new kernel helped me out big time. I know all our phones are different but it's worth a try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I think I'm going to have to add thread links to my links page for the several devs that are creating new kernels from source so everyone can try them out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] delfin2003:
So I am still having a random disconnect wifi issues on this rom JUST LIKE the stock FF18 from sprint. Does anybody else have this problem? Is there a remedy for this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Known issue with ICS still. Not happening for everyone, mine isn't doing it anymore for instance. Only thing I can suggest is settings/wifi, menu key - select advanced, keep wi-fi sleep 'Always'. Also, while you're in there, Wi-fi frequency band, change to 2.4 GHZ only instead of auto.

Did you apply the latest hotspot hack and maybe even try one of the kernels from source to see if any of those help too?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28451727&postcount=7876

Edit: And just so we're clear, this is happening when you wake the phone up and it will not reconnect to wifi even though the wifi signal icon is lit up correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] delfin2003:
Ok, just checked my settings. wi-fi sleep was already set to 'Always' but I changed frequency band from Auto to 2.4 GHz...I'll see if that helps.

Yes, exactly right! When I wake the phone up and it will not reconnect to wifi even though the wifi signal icon is lit up! Happened to me on ICS rom all the time :(

As far as kernels go, do I just download and flash them? I've installed CWM recovery by the instructions provided from the latest qbking video. I thought ROMs come with kernels, no?

Thank you for the follow up tdunham!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes, rom comes with its own kernel (and recovery, both get overwritten by the rom install). It wouldn't hurt to flash to the latest and the kernel this rom comes with has safe CWM recovery, ok to flash a different kernel in recovery.

The link I provided has links to latest kernels from source, just pick one...

TAR = Odin

ZIP = CWM Recovery

Pick a kernel from Sleshepic or Agat.

Also, don't forget to flash the latest hotspot fix too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] delfin2003:
tdunham, so let me get this straight:

1. If I flash the latest Agat kernel from CWM, it will only overwrite Blazer ROM's kernel and it won't overwrite CWM to some other recovery correct?

2. If I re-flash the whole Blazer ROM, then it will overwrite Agat kernel assuming I have it installed, correct?

3. Which Agat kernel to download? There is 0.2.3, 0.3.0, 0.4.0 and so on? Would 0.4.0 be the latest?

Thank you tdunham
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
Blazer uses one of agats kernels and yes 4.0 is the latest its a "safe" recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Recovery will be overwritten but this rom comes with an Agat kernel so if you use his newer kernel, you probably won't notice any difference.

Flashing any rom will replace the kernel that is currently in use.

0.4.0 is agats latest.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbrowdy:
Thanks for this. I feel much more comfortable flashing a kernel over a ROM knowing it's "officially" okay to do so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lagallinavecchia:
I am happy to be wrong. I like this ROM. In fact, I'll be Beta testing as well (thanks tdunham).

I'm on the current Blazer Rom v1.2 ..... I usually back up my apps with titanium back up when I flash a new rom but since it's an update to the current rom I wasn't sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
This is more than an update, it's a complete system change from EG30 to EK02, so you'll need to do a full wipe, not just an update

I did that back in the day when Kobridge first released his tweaks update for FF18 and it still didnt resolve the issue. But I can always do it again if you prefer.... maybe do a logcat dump.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I have to say, I wouldn't know what to look for in the dump file. :o

But, I had this issue in a bad way too but it went away somehow. I don't know what I did differently. I think it was when I was running FE22 Calk 1.6 then I eventually came over to Blazer Ff18. But I'm doing so much tweaking and mods that I can't say for sure. I'll send you the link to the beta if you didn't get it also.

I can relate to this problem, I depend on wifi exclusively at home for connectivity.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
TD you said blazer uses part of KO tweeks. Before blazer I was running agats ROMs and tried most of KOs tweeks for a week or so and they ate my battery up maybe 7 or 8 hours with less than 2 hours screen time. Pretty much same apps and setup. I tested over weekends so I was on WiFi to exclude bad service. Without KO tweeks 13 to 15 hours with 3 hours screen.

I'm selling my phone to a friend since I got Verizon and the S III (locked :crying:)

Anyways I need a stable rom and was going to use the Blazer EL29 4.1 since the ICS has a few little bugs still. He doesn't know anything about phones so I think the EL29 build would be best.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
Read all the posts? There's 860+ pages. That's a lot of ground to cover. If it's been covered a lot, I would have expected it to be in the first couple of posts under an FAQ section.

I'll go searching.

Yes there are loads of pages. And you should read through most of them.

BUT just go to Update Me>settings and disable 'Check for updates at startup'.

If you do a 'Search This Thread' search you can find answers too [ http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=52291878 ] or some other parameters.

Here's my wishlist, some of which were things I really liked about AOKP and it's ROM Control... If anyone knows ways of achieving these that'd be great!

1. Is there a way to hide the status bar clock completely?

2. How can I get "Hold back button to kill app" functionality?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
#1 is doable.

#2 probably not, long pressing the home capacitive button already brings up the app switcher where you can access task manager or swipe away running applications.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Tdunham I am just brought have you tried flashing down to a el29 base? Maybe even Ph 4.1 and running a pretty bare setup or even the dame setup you are running now in ics and using a tool like gsam or bettery battery stats to log usage and battery consumption between the different builds ? I know tons of people like myself would really like to pinpoint the theory of why Ics just appears to consume more resources and battery. Maybe even get a more granular break down using logcat dumps between builds to try and pinpoint key differences.

For me (like many other's ) we take the ics builds for a spin configure them the exact same way we had our gb based build. Use our device exactly the setup way but notice huge battery life consumption and utilization between the two. And I would really like to get to the bottom of it. I truly feel like all these work arounds we are doing such as disabling certain features is really just masking a bigger problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
TD, did you forget to tell them theres no need for that anymore :)

Espesially since I just tackled kobridges unicorn and got it to where wifi will always sleep AND wake with phone ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I think once the new kernels are mastered and we have some decent scripts to run alongside them, we will see a huge difference. We have been running leaked ICS for WAY too long and are impatient to see a miracle.

I've been running my wifi with the 'Never' setting back on and have been seeing a really big difference in battery drain now that it is really shutting down wifi when the phone sleeps. Granted, I'm now getting the occasional WSOD (wifi sleep of death) but I just had to go back and try it for a while to see what the difference was.

To test, I installed Blazer Beta, set wifi to never, installed BetterBatteryStats (the wake_lan wakelocks were killing me, so I had to have this) and CpuSpy. Nothing else, completely bare.

I let the phone sit totally idle overnight for about 6 hours and I only lost 2% battery and no more wake_lan wakelocks! :)

Granted that one test doesn't make this a solid theory but Kobridge did have some solid advice when he said, ' There is not a lot that can be done while phone is awake and you are using it to help battery but if your phone cannot deep sleep well, we cannot save battery at all'.

awesome... I just upgraded from calkulin GB 3.0 since he stopped updating it.. it is good to see that this ROM is getting update and is so active. the theme needs work.. not the biggest fan of the battery icon in the status bar, the number being outside the battery sign makes it look like a mistake.. it would be nicer if the % number was inside the battery sign.

please also include the 5 icon per row trick for the next release.

THANK YOU Phantom and Tdunham.... keep up the great work!

one question.. updates on this ROM are safe to Run right over the old version of this ROM? just run a zip file from CWM and keep all data and settings?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Hey Delfin. No afraid not. I know you and a bunch of other users are still waiting for a fix for this. It's still a problem for specific users on ICS running TW roms. It has nothing to do with this rom. I was reading up on wlan_wake problem on the XDA BBS thread and it's stated somewhere that the code changed between GB and ICS for wifi. Wish someone with the knowledge could take a look at it.

For what its worth, here is the link to the post and the info regarding the programming change:

I posted regarding this, your post and TrayLunch's reply in RW's modem thread here btw:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1764210

Yes, I believe this may be a kernel issue in TW ICS is the bottom line. Someone may have to go through the leaked build kernels to see where it was fixed and then got 'broken' again as reported by Sfhub. If anyone wants to follow up, please refer to my post at the end of that thread.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

Yes, I fixed the battery icon display issue in the upcoming update!

I will look into the launcher icon dock thing.

And yes, I believe that you can flash any Blazer ICS rom over itself. If something isn't working, I'm sure we'll hear all about it. LOL

Edit: As for theming, I'm hoping to keep this ROM as lightly themed as possible. There are plenty of other choices of themed ROMs available but I truly believe that there is still a need for a ROM that is still close to stock. Perfect example, see how wildly popular Calkulin's E4GT roms have been? Personally, I LIKE the stock color schemed apps. (It's the themed apps that drive me nuts LOL) Of course, this is not entirely up to me... ;)
